After standing silent since 1943, when the building was struck by lightning, Horsey Windpump has been brought back to life with a winding cap and turning sails. From the top, you're rewarded with magnificent panoramic views of the Norfolk countryside and Horsey Mere. There's also a tea room.

Hiking

The National Trust maintains a car park right next to the mill. You can also get tickets to the mill there. It's worth a visit, as you'll not only learn details about the mill, but also gain an insight into the miller's life.

Hiking

There is a car park here, which is managed by the National Trust. There are lovely hiking trails all around through the Broads and to the North Sea coast. You can see several colonies of seals on the coast.
